Site requirements
When planning the installation, take the following site requirements
for the AIS transceiver and GPS antenna, into account.
AIS requirement
This product is NOT approved for use in hazardous/flammable
atmospheres. Do NOT install in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere
(such as in an engine room or near fuel tanks).
The AIS unit must be fitted in a location where it is not likely to be
stepped on or tripped over, and which:
• Is close enough to allow connection to the vessel's VHF with the
3 ft (1 m) RF cable supplied.
• Is at least 3 ft (1 m) from an engine, compass or any magnetic
device.
• Has at least 6 in (100 mm) of clear space below, to allow access
for cabling and adequate cable bends.
• Is maintained at a temperature between -15°C (5°F) and +55°C
(130°F).
GPS antenna requirement
A GPS antenna is supplied with the transceiver and must be
installed in accordance with the instructions given here. Do NOT
connect any other GPS antenna to the transceiver.
The GPS antenna can be mounted either on a flat horizontal surface
or on a suitable pole.
• If you intend surface mounting the antenna, ensure you have
access to the underside of the mounting surface.
• If you intend pole-mounting the antenna, the pole needs a 1 inch
14 TPI thread.
